Column-formatted
text looks more professional with the text balanced across the columns. You don't
have to manually set column breaks and move text around on a page to make your
columns even—let Word do the work for you. Follow these steps:

Click
at the end of the columns you want to balance.

Go
to Insert | Break.

Select
Continuous and click OK.

Word inserts a continuous section break that automatically balances the text equally
among the columns.

If
you want to start a new page after the balanced columns, click after the
continuous section break, and then insert a manual page break by pressing [Ctrl][Enter].
